Many people know Polytarp as the name in plastic film for the construction industry. “We truly believe that, if you go into retail establishments, or you ask contractors across Canada, we are the preferred choice,” Polytarp President Steve Ghantous says. The company’s Super Six brand vapour barrier is particularly recognizable. “The brand name Super Six is like Tylenol,” Mr. Ghantous reports. “It became a generic name. In one case we even had a retail establishment selling a competitor’s product and advertising it as Super Six because Super Six has become a name that everybody knows.”

Polytarp remains the largest supplier of vapour barrier in Canada. However, over the last five years, the team has made a conscious effort to shift its focus to the food packaging industry. “The construction industry has been down over the recent years,” Mr. Ghantous explains. “The pie seems to be shrinking and there seem to be more suppliers supplying that shrinking pie with construction products. That is why we have expanded into the food industry.” The decision came after careful market research and customer communication. “We saw where the market was going through our partnership with our customers and the feedback from them,” Mr. Ghantous explains. “We decided to move with them.”
